Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease and line 2 x 20cm round cake pans with baking paper. Dust sides of pans with a little flour. Shake out excess.
2.Using an electric mixer, beat eggs, 30 seconds until frothy. Gradually add sugar and beat until thick and pale and mixture holds its shape (may take 10 minutes).
3.Sift flour, cocoa and cornflour together. In a jug, combine water and butter. Gradually fold flour into egg mixture, then add water mixture.
4.Pour mixture evenly into pans. Bake 20-25 minutes, until sponge springs back when touched lightly. Loosen edges with a butter knife. Cover a wire rack with a tea towel, then turn out cakes. Cool completely.
5.To make the chocolate ganache, heat cream in a small saucepan until almost boiling. Add chocolate, stirring until melted. Allow to cool until spreadable.
6.Spread over top of 1 cake. Drizzle small dots or lines of white chocolate over ganache. Using the tip of a skewer, gently drag white chocolate through ganache to create a feathered pattern. Spread bottom cake with jam and cream. Top with decorated cake.
